Michael Phelps’ Girlfriend Comes Out to Refute Reports That She Was Born a Man | Says She Was an Intersex Baby

Radar Online published an exclusive story a few days ago about Taylor Lianne Chandler, the girlfriend of Olympic champion Michael Phelps. The story was a shocker and claimed that Taylor Chandler was born as a man but that she had a sex change in her teens.

Speaking up for the first time since the story broke, Taylor Chandler has explained to the world that she was not born a man – she was an intersex baby. This means that Taylor was born with both male and female organs.

According to Taylor’s interview, “I was born with male genitalia with no testicles, but I also have a uterus and no ovaries…I was never a man, never lived as a man. No one can say they knew me as a man or produce a photo of me as a man.”

After giving an exclusive tell-all to the Radar Online, she took to her Facebook page to share her disappointment with the reaction of the world saying, “Two steps forward and 100 steps backwards. That is what life feels like to me right now. In a world of educated people that had all the facts of intersex and what it means and then to sell a magazine say Michael Phelps is dating a MAN. I have cried now for an hour, thrown up anything in my system till I dry heaved. I just can’t believe this is happening in 2014!”

She reveals that she was an intersex baby and her birth name was David Roy Fitch.

Taylor says ‘In my early teens I was medically diagnosed and went on testosterone blockers, at 15 estrogen enhancers. My birth certificate was modified along with my name while I was a teenager, prior to any corrective surgery. I originally changed my name to Paige Victoria Whitney. At 16 I legally emancipated from my family. I had already left home at 15. At 18 I got in trouble twice, once for a bad check and then a DUI. At 19 I thought it would be smart to blackmail someone into giving me the money for my surgery. As soon as I received the money I was arrested and charged with extortion. I spent 30 days in jail because I was too ashamed to tell my family what happened thinking no one knew. Even though my birth certificate and drivers license said female they put me in a cell with 3 men and I was raped.’

Michael Phelps, who is currently in Rehab and has been dating his 12 years older girlfriend since August and is said not to have known about the past of Taylor Lianne Chandler.

You are the bane of Nigerian society. You are uneducated trash. You are scum.

An intersex person is NOT a man. Do you know how to read? She was born with a penis and no testes and has normally functioning ovaries. This is not a rare occurrence because when it happens, most parents would elect to chop off the penis at birth. However, open minded parents allow the child to grow up to the point where they can select what gender they want to be. In such a case, testes are constructed and ovaries are removed.

Enlighten yourself and learn that life is beyond what you see down the street from your bedroom. Ignorance is disgusting.

Umm, anyone read this properly would know intersex does not mean born a male. Just ’cause she was given a boys name means nothing if that’s what you guys are going by, she had both genitalia, it’ happens. Only thing wrong with this whole saga is she didn’t tell him first. As much as I feel bad for her, this was wrong to come out and get interviewed to put a story out while he’s in Rehab and him having no idea about any of it. Getting money for a story like this is not worth the trouble.

”I am probably going to lose him?” Then why even take the risk? Why even bother posting the intimacies of ones’ romantic dalliances for the public to see? Why expose a purported partner who one presumably cares about to scrutiny, vilification or the suggestion he is into he/she sexual turns on (as if we are suppose to judge that as bad)? Unless of course Chandler already lost Phelps and she sought hit pay dirt/revenge with the tabloids…?
